Ratatan

 Back in my College days I used to play this Rhythm game called Patapon on my PSP which was a very unique yet fun game which you get to command an army of Eyeball like creatures through beating rhythm of a Drum. The original Patapon series ran for up to 3 Titles on PSP which I only managed to finish the 1st game and played halfway on the 2nd one. Regardless the Original Patapon series left me a lingering fond memory with its unique package of experience and after a decade of inactivity, the former Dev team of the Patapon series made an appearance and recently revealed Patapon's Spiritual successor called Ratatan!

 Managed to be successfully funded in Kickstarter, Ratatan will be planned for Modern Consoles and PC release. No release schedule being promised so far but perhaps we will expect some news from Ratatan in 2024. From the first glance, Ratatan is more vibrant version of Patapon with more vivid 2D Sprites and Background and I would expect the core gameplay would be the same with Patapon, But what is notable is that the music direction of Ratatan would appear to diverge from Patapon's original tribal music nevertheless we could expect cameos from Patapon series would make appearance considering the Green Trex Dodonga had shown up from the current trailer. While I personally think Patapon's minimalistic approach on presentation that can still deliver a very pleasant gaming experience is one of the series main selling point, I am willing to wait and see whether Ratatan would be able to deliver just like its spiritual predecessor did and more than willing to get a physical copy for Switch. If anyone still interested to back Ratatan project, the Kickstarter Funding which can be accessed here is still open until 1st September 2023.
